How we handle fire rated sealant in Five Wents
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For a small place like Five Wents, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Five Wents and across Kent.

Landlord and commercial work in Five Wents
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

FAQs for Five Wents
Do you cover Five Wents for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Five Wents is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Five Wents within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant around Five Wents

Managing a site like Sutton Valence Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
